156 i Did you ever stop to thlnk about the difficulties confronting any foreigner who wants to learn Eng- lish? There's the matter of spell- ing, for instance. Remember the old story about the man who spelled fish GHOTI - GH as in enough, 0 as in women, and TI as in notion? Phonetically, he was right, too. Or take pronunciation. Cough, dough, rough, through-they look as if they should rhyme, but they don't. As for vocabulary, there's con- fusion worse confounded. Take a simple word like stock. Webster gives more than a score of mean- ings for the noun alone; a firm support, such as a pillar or post; the race or line of a family; a merchant's or manufacturer's store of goods; raw material; a meat extract used in making soup or gravy; a flower; the wooden part of a gun; repertory theatre, etc. But don't come to us for car- pentry, genealogy, cookery, horti- culture, or theatre tickets. We're stock brokers all right, but the stocks we are concerned with are shares of ownership in American busine s. All clear? End of Eng- lish lesson.

Panassie, the Inde- fatigable French critic and aficiona- do who published his first book on jazz almost twenty-five years ago Included here, among other things, are hundreds of bIographical sketch- es of well-known and unknown jazz musicians, definitions of mUSI- cal terms used in jazz, and brief his- torie() of popular songs associated wIth Jazz, the whole being laced with enough spirited pettifoggerv to make the solemn see red. Mr. Armstrong's short introduction appears to be an almost untouched example of one of the most happily ungovernable prose styles of our day Photograph" and a selected discography.
